Halle Berry recently revealed that her perimenopause symptoms were misdiagnosed as herpes, causing stress in her relationship before doctors corrected the mistake. Her experience highlights a larger issue—Black women face higher rates of misdiagnosis and inadequate care in the healthcare system.
Studies show that Black women are more likely to report unfair treatment in medical settings, and racial/gender biases often lead to delayed or incorrect diagnoses.
Berry is now using her platform to push for more awareness around perimenopause and advocate for better healthcare.
